HISTORICAL 


SHE POLAND SPRING HOUSE is situated 
I on the old homestead estate of Wentworth 
1 Ricker, in the heart of one of the loveliest 
I regions of Maine and New England. It was 
Si in 1794 that Jabez Ricker with his four sons 
and six daughters arrived and settled in a small house 
on the land south of the present Mansion House. 

In 1795 the building comprising the northwest corner 
of the present Mansion House was commenced. This 
building was first occupied in 1796, and during the fol¬ 
lowing year was finished as an Inn and a sign-post erected 
at the northwest comer with a sign bearing the words: 
“WENTWORTH RICKER, 1797.” It is recorded that 
the morning following their arrival, and when there was 
no regular highway in these parts, two men passing 
through the country called for meals. Since that day, 
during a period touching three centuries, these doors 
have never been closed to the coming guest. It is also 
worthy of note that the Wentworth Ricker Inn was one 


of the first to offer “entertainment for man and beast” 
on the post highway from Portland to Montreal. 

The original Mansion House was opened by Went¬ 
worth Ricker, the grandfather of the present proprietors, 
Hiram Ricker & Sons, Jabez Ricker having previously 
settled all his sons on properties, practically all of which 
have since been taken into the present estate, which 
originally contained about 300 acres; and there are now 
5,000 acres in the Poland Spring Estate. 

Nearly one hundred and twenty years of hotel-keeping 
have evolved the Mansion House and Poland Spring 
House, and developed the Estate; and The Riccar Inn 
at Poland Spring, first opened in 1913, derives its name 
from George and Maturin Riccar, the founders of the 
Ricker family in America. Side by side with the growth 
of Poland Spring as a famous summer and winter resort, 
has developed also the history of Poland Spring itself, 
and Poland Water has become famous throughout the 
civilized world.

POLAND SPRING 

The Leading Resort in New England—Known the World Over 


F THE WORLD’S notable places, many 
are so alike as to be uninteresting. Only 
the discriminating know the places that 
are different, and to these Poland Spring 
has a special appeal. 

As a well-known writer has said of 
Poland Spring’s location: “The terraced 
foothills, the fertile farms that incline 
along their slope, the little villages tucked 
away here and there in the distance, the chain of lakes 
gleaming through the trees, and the shimmering peaks of 
the New Hampshire mountains known as the Presidential 
Range, help to make up the picture. While it varies 
greatly in sunshine and in storm, it is supremely beautiful 


at dawn or sunset. I have seen sunsets here which I never 
can forget, and I am sure that no one who has ever passed 
a summer at Poland Spring fails to carry away indelible 
memories of the unique beauty of its surroundings.” 

What can one do at Poland Spring? The photographs 
reproduced in this booklet will perhaps give the best idea; 
and the visitor finds that Poland Spring offers more amuse¬ 
ment and entertainment for young and old than any other 
resort in America. From the wealth of material available 
it has been hard to determine what to show or to omit. 

Poland Spring is about eight hundred feet above sea 
level; twenty-six miles north of Portland, Maine, and about 
five miles via the Poland Spring Automobile Stage Line 
from Danville Junction station of the Maine Central

A Fancy-Dress Ball 



















Railroad. The facilities for reaching 
Poland Spring from New York, Boston, 
and other centres are unexcelled, as 
will be seen by reference to the last page 
of this booklet, outlining the train sched¬ 
ule and the parlor-, dining-, and sleeping- 
car service. 

The Poland Spring property of five 
thousand acres is of diversified character, 
and a small army of workers is employed 
in its upkeep. The scientific drainage, 


the electric-lighting system, and the water 
supply and fire protection have attained 
the perfection possible only through unre¬ 
stricted study and expense. The well-planned 
system of water towers, hydrants, and 
sprinklers, and the system of brick fire 
walls, afford the utmost protection, and it 
may be added that the Poland Spring House 
was the first resort hotel in the country 
to be equipped with the automatic sprinkler 
system.

r I A HE links at Poland Spring — an 
-*- eighteen-hole course — rank with the 
best in the country. For sixteen years 
they have been under the personal charge 
of Mr. A. H. Fenn, one of our best-known 
professionals, and their superb condition 
is well known. The unusual sightliness 
of the course, together with the fact that 
it starts and ends at the doors of the 
hotels, adds still further to its value. 
Tournaments are frequent, and at times 


The Sportsman’s Favorite Hazard 

events of importance to the entire world 
of golfdom take place among the best- 
known amateurs. Hiram Ricker & Sons 
were among the first in the country to 
establish a golf course in connection 
with the hotel for the use of its guests. 

The tennis facilities at Poland Spring 
have kept pace with the increasing 
popularity of the game, and the courts 
are the best that can be built, and are 
maintained in first-class condition.

Off for a Few Hours’ Pleasure 

R IDING, too, is a feature that has had much attention, 
and an excellent string of saddle horses, and a riding 
master from the staff of the Durland Academy of New 
York, are available during the season. 

Poland Spring has always been noted for its livery and 
automobile service. With the many good roads now in¬ 
terlacing the surrounding country, there is no lack of either 
interest or variety wherever one desires to drive. There 
is also a well-equipped stable for private equipages. 
Motorists will find available a shop for repairs and sup¬ 
plies, and garage facilities for the care of automobiles. 
The accommodations for chauffeurs are the best in the 
country. Poland Spring is on the Ideal Tour. 

Of the many lakes and ponds about Poland Spring, 
the nearest of importance are the three Range Lakes en¬ 
circling the western foot of Ricker Hill, less than a mile

from either hotel. These are well-stocked with bass, 
togue, and other game fish, and have for years been a 
favorite resort with the followers of Izaak Walton. 
Within a few miles are other noted waters: Lake Auburn, 
Thompson’s Pond, Sabbath Day Lake, etc., and if a guest 
should desire to visit the Rangeleys, which are within easy 
distance, arrangements may be made to occupy the Poland 
Spring Camp on Mooselukmeguntic for short periods. 

The long sand beach at Middle Range Lake is a con¬ 
stant delight to children. There is every opportunity for 
boating and swimming, and a modern bathing pavilion, 
with instructors and boatmen, will be found at Middle 
Lake. Occasional aquatic tournaments lend additional 
interest and attract many to its beautiful shore. 

The music at Poland Spring has always been a dis¬ 
tinctive feature, and will continue to be of the high order 
maintained in the past. Supplementing this, on occasion, 
will be special music for the indoor and outdoor dances and 
entertainments. The regular concerts, balls and entertain¬ 
ments, because of the better facilities, are held in the Music 
Hall of the Poland Spring House, but are intended equally 
for the guests of the Mansion House. A teacher of the newer 
dances will be in attendance during the season. 

A notable feature of Poland Spring is the “Maine 
State Building” — the official building of the State of 
Maine at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, when Poland 
Water received the Grand Prize. At the close of the Ex¬ 
position this building was purchased, taken down, shipped 
in a special train from Chicago, re-erected at Poland 
Spring, and dedicated on the Centennial Anniversary of 
the occupation of this property by the ancestors of the 
present owners. This building houses the annual Ex¬ 
hibit of representative American artists, in addition to 











Reading Room, with Glimpse of Art Gallery 











































On the Walk to the Lake 


the growing permanent exhibition of the owners, and the 
library of over six thousand volumes of modern, classical 
and historical literature; while the reading room is pro¬ 
vided with the more important periodicals, under the 
charge of a competent librarian. 

All Souls’ Chapel — erected through the co-operation 
during many years of proprietors and guests, by direct 
contributions, and the proceeds of an annual fair for the 
purpose — is adjacent to the Poland Spring House, and on 
Sundays this expensive and beautiful edifice is the scene 
of services of various religious denominations for all who 
desire to attend. 

The morning and evening concerts are a distinctive 
feature of entertainment at Poland. These concerts, as 
well as the special musicales, hops, theatricals, lectures, 
etc., which occur frequently during the season, are, be¬ 
cause of better facilities, held in the Music Hall of the 
Poland Spring House, but are intended equally for the 
guests of the Mansion House. 

Each day at Poland Spring has its own peculiar charm, 
and to this partial list of things one does at Poland Spring 
may be added the enjoyment afforded by the beautiful park 
and countryside, rich in flora; the many well-laid walks and 
woodland paths, the pine grove facing the sunset and over¬ 
looking the distant White Mountains, the beautiful and 
comfortable appointments, the congenial social life, the 
noted cuisine, and the unremitting attention given person¬ 
ally by the proprietors to every detail of the service. 

The outdoor pleasures of Poland Spring in winter may 
be partly realized by examining the photographs of some 
winter events reproduced on later pages, and a special 
illustrated winter booklet with additional information will 
be gladly furnished on request.

The Poland Spring House — One of the ] 
































































r Famous Resorts in the United States 

























T HE first great contributing cause of the 
international fame of Poland Spring as a 
resort is the remarkably beneficial qualities 
of Poland Water. Guests are at all times 
supplied with Poland Water without charge, 
and are always deeply interested in a visit 
to the Spring and in observing the great 
care, skill, and expense which attends its 
bottling. In the process of bottling Poland 
Water, from the source until it is carefully 
sealed, the water is never exposed even to 
air, being conducted in glass or silver tubes 
to the bottles which have been through 
scientific processes of cleaning and steriliza¬ 
tion. The Bottling House is as sanitary and 
thoroughly protected as science can devise, 


yet the entire process can be observed 
by guests through plate-glass walls and 
galleries which have been arranged 
for that purpose. From the Bottling 
House these packages, so carefully pre¬ 
pared, are shipped to every civilized 
country in the world. The Spring House 
itself is of Spanish design, built of mot¬ 
tled brick with Italian Pavonazzo mar¬ 
ble interior. The floors are mosaic, and 
the spring is enclosed in plate glass 
within a bronze grill. An illustrated 
descriptive and historical booklet of 
Poland Spring may be had on request.

On a Walk through the Grounds 


TT ISTORICALLY and architecturally the Mansion 
^ House is unique among the famous inns of America, 
and has been in the possession of the Ricker family for 
three generations, having been opened in 1795 by Went¬ 
worth Ricker, the grandfather of the present proprietors. 

The original building is still a part of the now greatly en¬ 
larged Mansion House, and imparts to it an atmosphere 
rarely felt in present-day hotels, making it today one of 
the most delightful and homelike hostelries in America. 

Refinement and comfort continue to be outstanding 
features of life at the Mansion House, and everything has 
been done to please the eye, enhance the comfort, and pro¬ 
vide for the satisfaction of its guests. 

There is a Western Union Telegraph Office in the Poland 
Spring House during the season and Mansion House all 
the rest of the year, and it. will facilitate the delivery of 
telegrams to us or our guests if sent by that company. 
There is also a long-distance telephone in each house. 

The piazzas and sun parlors, the rambling and cheery 
foyer with its open fireplace, the beautiful dining room, 
the chambers and suites, and the service, satisfy the stand¬ 
ards of taste and comfort demanded by guests of Poland 
Spring. 

Rooms are available either singly or en suite, and with 
or without private baths, as desired. Every room is steam 
heated and electric lighted, and there is elevator service 
to all floors. 

Socially, life at the Mansion House at all seasons is 
exceptionally happy, and guests enjoy every facility that 
Poland Spring affords, participating freely in the con¬ 
certs, entertainments, dances and the social life at the 
Poland Spring House, and in the tournaments and all 
outdoor pleasures.

Massage and Phototherapy 

F OR centuries Europe led the world in science and 
medicine, and especially in hydrotherapeutics. Yearly 
many Americans have gone abroad to the various resorts 
for treatment. 

Of late years, however, medical science in America has 
had a wonderful development. In the use of electricity as 
a curative agent America now takes first place. Moreover, 
the medical profession of this country recognizes and en¬ 
dorses our mineral springs, with Poland Spring Water — 
known the world over as Poland Water — acknowledged 
as the leader. 

In view of these facts, the baths at Poland Spring were 
established in the summer of 1914. The Vichy massage 
douche, general and special massage, Swedish movement 
and mechanical treatment are given by experienced atten¬ 



dants. In the Hydrotherapeutic Department the very best 
equipment has been installed for the Nauheim, oxygen, 
pine, saline, alkaline, sulphur, and other water baths. 

The Electrotherapy equipment consists of electric light 
baths, radio-high frequency apparatus, vacuum electrode 
treatment, galvanic, faradic, and sinusoidal currents, elec¬ 
tric tub baths, electric vibratory, phototherapy, blue light, 
and other electrical treatment. 

Dr. H. H. Roberts, a well-known physician and specialist 
of many years’ experience, is the Medical Director and 
House Physician, with residence at Poland Spring all the 
year. Dr. Roberts has made a special study of those con¬ 
ditions which are benefited by treatment at the spas, and 
has had the best advantages both in this country and 
abroad. A complete laboratory is connected with the med¬ 
ical department, and the facilities for making thorough 
examinations and careful diagnosis are the best.
